Oh, Christmas Tree...

Well, we've put up our Christmas Tree.
Rhonda tried to convince me that an artificial tree was good enough, but after one look at Wal-Mart I decided to go get a real one.

The cheapest artificial tree was around $40, so I figured I could get a real one for around that. We went to Henry's Christmas Tree Farm on Boon Rd. and picked out a really nice one. We cut it down ourselves and hauled it to the truck. Henry's wife served us some hot apple cider and we had a nice chat. They only wanted $20 for the tree, but I made her take $25. We brought it home and decorated it, that was yesterday. It looks really pretty with a lot of lights and a bunch of decorations. Rhonda had a bunch and I had a lot, too. Sheilah had given me about a dozen really nice ornaments that were glass figures all painted up, similar to the old fashioned kind that had mercury inside, if you're familiar with those. Henry's wife gave us a leaflet that the Boy Scouts had left, where if you call them before the 6th of Jan, they'll come to the house and haul your tree away for a donation. I thought that was pretty cool, I used to be a Boy Scout when I was a kid and I'd rather give them some money for disposal than have to take it to the dump myself (and pay for disposal, too).
